Abstract
A short-term projection model is developed to assess and monitor potential future fish
demand and supply gaps at the country (nearly 200 countries or territories), regional
(about 40 country groups), and global levels for nine species groups. Salient results at
the global, regional and country levels are presented in the main text. Key results for
all countries and all the nine species groups (including both standard and conservative
projections) are documented in the appendix. The results indicate that: (i) if fish prices
and consumer preferences remain the same, income growth would drive world per
capita fish demand up from 20 kg/year in the mid-2010s to 25 kg/year in the early
2020s (or 23 kg/year under the conservative projection); (ii) the income-driven per capita
fish demand hike, combined with population growth, would drive world fish demand
up by 47 million tonnes (or 31 million tonnes under the conservative projection);
(iii) the 19-million-tonne fish supply growth generated by the trend growth of world
aquaculture production would cover only 40 percent of the projected demand growth
(or 62 percent of the conservative projection), leaving a fish demand-supply gap of
28 million tonnes (or 16 million tonnes under the conservative projection) in the early
2020s; (iv) the demand-supply gap for shellfish (i.e. crustaceans and molluscs) would
be bigger than that for finfish – they would account for, respectively, 55 percent and
45 percent of the 28-million-tonne fish demand-supply gap; (v) while world aquaculture
production following its recent trend would grow 4.5 percent annually from the mid-
2010s to the early 2020s, it would take a 9.9 percent annual growth (or 6.9 percent
under the conservative projection) to fill the world fish demand-supply gap in the early
2020s; (vi) the trend aquaculture growth in only 17 countries (or 24 countries under
the conservative projection) would be sufficient to cover the demand growth driven by
population and income growth; excess demand is expected to occur in 170 countries (or
163 countries under the conservative projection); and (vii) should the world aquaculture
production fall short of the required annual growth rate (i.e. 9.9 percent or 6.9 percent
under the standard or conservative projection), and assuming world capture fisheries
production would remain at the current level, the world fish price would have to
increase to reduce fish demand in order to clear the market (i.e. no demand-supply
gap). Results generated by the short-term projection model are useful for policymaking,
development aids, business or investment planning, and other decision-making by
various stakeholders in aquaculture and fisheries. They are a complement to and can
potentially enhance the understanding of the results of more sophisticated forecasting
models such as the OECD-FAO Fish Model and the World Bank-IFPRI-FAO Fish to
2030 model.

1. Introduction
World fish1 consumption increased from 121 million tonnes in 2008 to 140 million
tonnes in 2013. Ninety percent of the growth was contributed by aquaculture. Looking
into the future, growing and wealthier populations would continue to demand more
fish, and aquaculture growth is expected to be the major force to satisfy the demand
growth (OECD-FAO, 2011–2016; World Bank, 2013).
As opposed to most work that forecasts future fish demand and supply focusing on
medium- or long-term projections at the global or regional level (Ye, 1999; Delgado
et al., 2003; OECD-FAO, 2011–2016; World Bank, 2013; Lem, Bjørndal and Lappo,
2014; Kobayashi et al., 2015), this paper develops a short-term projection model to
assess potential future fish demand-supply gaps at the country,2 regional and global
levels and estimates aquaculture growth needed to fill the gap.
The model includes: (i) a demand-side component that estimates the fish demand
growth driven by population and income growth; (ii) a supply-side component that
estimates the trend aquaculture growth; and (iii) a set of indicators that measure
demand-supply gaps. The demand-side component contains an econometric model
that estimates the income elasticity of fish demand based on the historical trends of
nearly 200 countries.
The study covers the supply and demand of nine fish species groups. The results for
five basic species groups3 (i.e. marine fish, freshwater & diadromous fish,4 crustaceans,
shell molluscs and cephalopods) are estimated directly. These basic results are
aggregated into results for four more aggregate species groups (i.e. molluscs,5 shellfish,6
finfish7 and fish8). Limited by space, the discussion in the paper is focused on fish as a
whole and the five basic species groups. Yet key results for all the nine species groups
are presented in the appendix.
The study examines fish supply and demand for nearly 200 countries or territories. The
basic, country-level results are then aggregated into regional and global results. Limited
by space, this paper only discusses regional- and global-level results and highlights

Unless specified otherwise, in this document fish includes finfish, crustaceans and molluscs.
² Unless specified otherwise, in this document the term country includes non-sovereign territory.
³ At the time of this analysis, the FAO Food Balance Sheet for fish species provides data on apparent
fish consumption at the level of species groups, including freshwater & diadromous fish, pelagic fish,
demersal fish, marine fish nei, crustaceans, molluscs excluding cephalopods (a.k.a. shell molluscs), and
cephalopods. The three marine fish species groups (i.e. pelagic fish, demersal fish and marine fish nei)
are grouped by the authors into marine fish, which, together with the other four species groups (i.e.
freshwater & diadromous fish, crustaceans, shell molluscs and cephalopods), are treated as the five basic
species groups used in the analysis.

At the time of this analysis, the FAO Food Balance Sheet does not contain data on freshwater fish
(carps, catfishes, tilapias, etc.) and diadromous fish (salmons, trouts, eels, etc.) as separate species
groups.

Molluscs = shell molluscs + cephalopods.

Shellfish = crustaceans + molluscs.

Fish = finfish + shellfish.
2 Short-term projection of global fish demand and supply gaps
salient results at the country level. However, key results at the country, regional and
global levels are presented in the appendix.
The study uses the situation in the mid-2010s as a baseline to project the demand-
supply gaps in the early 2020s. The five-year horizon is selected to match the planning
horizon for aquaculture and fisheries development in many countries. In principle, the
methodology can be used for short-term projections of any horizon.
The results of the fish demand-supply gap analysis can be used to facilitate evidence-
based policymaking and business decision-making at the country, regional and global
levels. But understanding of the methodology and its merits and constraints are
important to proper and flexible use of the results.
In section 2, the status and trends of fish consumption (including species composition)
during the recent five years are examined. The results indicate that world fish
consumption increased nearly 20 million tonnes from 2008 to 2013. About 40 percent
of the world fish consumption growth is attributable to population growth, whereas
the other 60 percent reflects the increase in per capita fish consumption.
In section 4, future fish demand-supply gaps are estimated by comparing fish demand
growth driven by population and income (estimated in section 3) to potential fish
supply growth generated from the trend aquaculture growth. Aquaculture growth
rates needed to satisfy the demand growth are estimated accordingly.
The last section – section 5 – summarizes the key results, examines the merits and
constraints (as well as potential remedies) of the study, and discusses how its results can
be used to facilitate evidence-based policymaking and sector management.

Table 1 summarizes the status and trends of fish consumption from 2008 to 2013 at the
global and regional levels. Figure 1 illustrates countries’ per capita fish consumption in
2013. Some salient results are presented below.

Unless specified otherwise, fish consumption is measured by the apparent consumption of food fish (live
weight equivalent) estimated in the FAO Food Balance Sheet for fish species (v. 2016.1.0), where the data
are updated to year 2013.
10
The increase in total fish consumption could be broken up into three components. One is the pure
population effect measured by the increase in total fish consumption under constant per capita fish
consumption and growing population; another one is the pure per capita consumption effect measured
by the increase in total fish consumption under constant population and growing per capita fish
consumption; and the last one is the mixed effect that captures the interaction between the growing
population and per capita consumption. The total fish consumption growth attributable to population
growth is equal to the pure population effect plus half of the mixed effect, whereas that attributable to
per capita consumption growth is equal to the pure per capita consumption effect plus half of the mixed
effect.

The share of sub-Saharan Africa in world fish consumption declined slightly from
5.85 to 5.81 percent in spite of strong population growth in the region. This reflects the

stagnant growth of its already low per capita fish consumption from 8.6 kg to 8.7 kg
(Figure 1). Eastern Africa had the lowest per capita fish consumption in the region,
but it was the only sub-Saharan African subregion that increased its per capita fish
consumption and share in world fish consumption (Table 1).
Northern Africa increased its share in world fish consumption from 1.8 to 2.0 percent
during the 2008–2013 period, primarily because of Egypt, the only country in the
subregion with both an above-average fish consumption level and growth rate
(Figure 4).
During the same period, Northern America reduced its share in world fish consumption
from 6.1 to 5.5 percent because of stagnant per capita fish consumption growth
in Canada and the United States of America. Most countries or territories (except
Bermuda) in the region had an above-average fish consumption level, yet below-
average consumption growth (Figure 5).

Marine fish used to be the largest species group in world fish consumption, but its
share declined from 53 percent in 1993 to 37 percent in 2013, surpassed by freshwater
& diadromous fish.13 However, the world average of 37 percent does not properly
reflect the situation that marine fish is still the dominant species in most countries’
fish consumption. Indeed, in 2013 marine fish accounted for more than half of fish
consumption in more than 170 countries (Figure 10).
Freshwater & diadromous fish had the highest growth in world fish consumption,
increasing from 3.2 kg in 1993 to 7.5 kg in 2013. Although freshwater & diadromous
fish became the largest species group in world fish consumption in 2013, it is a dominant
species group (i.e. more than half of fish consumption) in only 31 countries, primarily in
Asia and Africa. In 136 countries, it is still a minor species group relative to marine fish,
accounting for less than 25 percent of fish consumption (Figure 11).
13
This reflects the situation that capture fisheries production, which is the primary source of marine fish,
has been stagnant; on the other hand, the production of freshwater & diadromous fish has increased
significantly thanks to the rapid growth in aquaculture production. However, it is worth noting that
the increase in world consumption of freshwater & diadromous fish is contributed primarily by a few
populous countries with strong growth in freshwater aquaculture (e.g. China and India).

luxury seafood) than developing regions in terms of both the amount and the share
in fish consumption. Countries in Eastern Asia, the Caribbean, Central America,
Northern America, Western Europe and Northern Europe generally have a higher
share of crustaceans in their fish consumption than countries in other regions. The
share of crustaceans in fish consumption was less than 5 percent in nearly all countries
on the African continent (Figure 12).
Shell molluscs accounted for 13 percent of world fish consumption in 2013; the share
is nearly the same as in 1993 (Figure 8). The species group accounted for more than
10 percent of fish consumption in only 29 countries, whereas in 159 countries its share
was less than 10 percent and in 132 countries less than 5 percent. Countries in Eastern
Asia, the Caribbean, Northern America, Southern and Western Europe generally had
a higher share of this species group compared with countries in other regions. No

group (Figure 13).
Cephalopods accounted for 2.6 percent of world fish consumption in 2013; the share
declined from 3.5 percent in 1993 (Figure 8). Indeed, world per capita cephalopod
consumption declined from 0.58 kg in 2008 to 0.51 in 2013 (Figure 8). The species
group accounted for more than 5 percent of fish consumption in only 18 countries; in
160 countries its share was less than 5 percent and in 104 countries less than 1 percent.
Generally speaking, countries in Eastern Asia and Southern Europe had a higher share
of this species group compared with countries in other regions (Figure 14).

Short-term projection of global fish demand and supply gaps
The basic results at the country level for the five basic species groups (i.e. marine
fish, freshwater & diadromous fish, crustaceans, shell molluscs and cephalopods)
are directly estimated; the results for the four more aggregated species groups (i.e.
molluscs, shellfish, finfish and fish), or at the regional or global levels, are derived from
the aggregation of the basic results.
It is a panel model, where i denotes country and t denotes time. The model is used
to run five separate regressions, one for each of the five basic species groups. For
example, in the regression for marine fish, the historical trends of per capita marine
fish consumption in all countries are pooled together to estimate the impact of income
growth on marine fish consumption.
The dependent variable C denotes per capita fish consumption, or more exactly, the
per capita consumption of a fish species group. For narrative convenience, unless
associated with a specific number indicating otherwise, the term “fish consumption (or
demand)” generally means the consumption (or demand) of a fish species group, but
not specifically the consumption (or demand) of fish as a whole.
The independent variables Y and P denote per capita income and fish price, respectively.
For comparability across countries and over time, they are measured in real terms. Both the
own price and the prices of substitute goods (e.g. alternative fish species and/or meats) were
initially included in P, yet eventually dropped because their coefficients are not statistically
significant. Therefore, the final model specification includes only the own price.
In a review of seafood demand studies, Asche, Bjørndal and Gordon (2007) reported
that there are few studies showing that seafood and terrestrial meats are substitutes.
Moreover, Tveterås et al. (2012) indicate that, while there are global markets for
different main groups of fish species, there is little market integration between the main
species groups. Another issue is limited data availability. For example, adding the meat
price to the model for marine fish would reduce the number of countries included in
the estimation from 187 to 109 and the number of observations from 1 109 to 646. The
resulting loss of degree of freedom would cause collinearity problems that make some
countries or subregions dropped from the estimation.
18 Short-term projection of global fish demand and supply gaps
Coefficient β (i.e. the income elasticity of fish demand) is the key parameter to be
estimated. It measures the impact of income growth on fish demand. More specifically,
it measures what percentage a country’s fish demand would change if its per capita
income changes by 1 percent, given that other factors remain unchanged. Theoretically,
the panel model in equation (1) can be used to estimate a distinct β for each country, but
such a specification does not give statistically significant β for every country because
of the limited amount and quality of data. Thus, we estimate a distinct β only for the
top 20 countries with the largest fish consumption in 2013 and group other countries
into 20 geographic subregions; countries in each subregion are assumed to have
identical income elasticity. This assumption is technically necessary, and it is justifiable
because countries in the same subregion generally tend to have similar dietary habits.
Bangladesh, one of the top 20 countries, is grouped into South Asia in the estimations
for shell molluscs and cephalopods because the estimated β for Bangladesh as a distinct
country is not statistically significant for the two species groups.
Coefficient γ (i.e. the own price elasticity of fish demand) measures the impact of the
price of a fish on its demand. The price elasticity is not the focus of the estimation
because of the lack of worldwide data on domestic fish prices – there would be a more
detailed discussion on this data limitation below. However, inclusion of the price variable
is necessary to obtain more accurate estimations on β. Originally, a distinct γ is specified
for each of the top 20 countries and the 20 subregions. Yet this specification is discarded,
because the estimated coefficients are the correct signs and significant for a few countries
or subregions, the correct signs yet insignificant for many countries or subregions, and
the wrong signs and insignificant for a few countries or subregions. This may be caused
by a varied quality of price data across countries. Thus, in the estimation for each of the
five basic species groups, the final model specification assumes a uniform price elasticity
γ across all countries in order to avoid an unwanted ad hoc effect on the estimation of
income elasticity β, which is the targeted parameter in this study.
Coefficient α is the intercept. Parameter u is the random effect parameter that captures
countries’ idiosyncratic preference over fish consumption. Parameter e is an auto-
regressive AR (1) error term that captures general shocks.
Data
Population
Data on per capita consumption and per capita income in official databases are not used
in this study because population data used to calculate them may not be consistent
in different databases. Instead, population data from the United Nations World
Population Prospects: the 2015 Revision (POP/DB/WPP/Rev.2015/POP/F01-1) is
used to calculate per capita variables used in this study. When the United Nations
World Population Prospects database does not contain data for a country or territory,
population data provided by the FAO Food Balance Sheet for fish species (v. 2016.1.0)
are used.
Consumption
A country’s per capita fish consumption is calculated from the country’s total fish
consumption divided by its population. The data on countries’ total fish consumption
are obtained from the FAO Food Balance Sheet for fish species (v. 2016.1.0) published
through FishStatJ; the data source for the population is explained above. Observations
with per capita fish consumption less than 0.1 percent of the world average are treated
as outliers and not used in the estimations. This has led to a loss of 0.1 percent of
observations for marine fish, 2 percent for freshwater & diadromous fish, 6 percent for
crustaceans, 10 percent for shell molluscs, and 7 percent for cephalopods.
Estimating future fish demand 19
Income
Gross domestic product (GDP) per capita is used as a proxy of per capita income. The
GDP per capita adjusted for purchasing power parity (PPP) is used because it is more
comparable across countries and over time. The data on GDP adjusted for PPP from
the International Monetary Fund (IMF) World Economic Outlook database (April
2016)14 and the population data from the United Nations are used to calculate GDP
per capita adjusted for PPP.
Price
Worldwide data on countries’ domestic fish prices are not readily available. FAO
provides worldwide data on a country’s aquaculture production (both quantity and
value),15 which can be used to calculate the price of domestic aquaculture production.
FAO also provides worldwide data on the quantity and value of fish imports,16
which can be used to calculate the price of a country’s fish imports. Since a country’s
domestic fish prices are determined by the prices of domestically produced fish as well
as imported fish, a weighted average of these two prices (i.e. cultured fish price and
imported fish price) is used to construct a proxy of domestic fish price.
For countries that do not have a proxy domestic fish price under the weighting
scheme, their imported fish prices are used as the proxy. If imported fish prices are also
unavailable, the cultured fish prices are used.
The resulting prices over US$20/kg, which are less than 1 percent of the data, are
treated as outliers and not used in the estimations. Because per capita GDP adjusted
for PPP is used, the price is adjusted for PPP by multiplying per capita GDP (PPP
measure) and then dividing per capita GDP (current United States dollar measure).
Summary
Eventually, the estimation model covers a five-year period from 2008 to 2013 for nearly
200 countries for four basic species groups (marine fish, crustaceans, shell molluscs and
cephalopods); the model for freshwater & diadromous covers a seven-year period from
2006 to 2013 (Table 2).
Although data are available from 1980 to 2013, only data in the most recent five
years are used in estimations in order to capture the current situation. For the case of
freshwater & diadromous fish, using the five-year period from 2008 to 2013 or a six-
year period from 2007 to 2013 does not result in statistically significant coefficients for
all countries and subregions; thus, the period is extended to 2006–2013, which leads to
statistically significant income and price elasticity coefficients.

Data used in estimations
Income elasticity
The panel model in equation (1) is used to estimate the income elasticity of demand
for the five basic fish species groups. The estimated income elasticities are presented in
Figure 15A for the 20 subregions and Figure 15B for the top 20 countries.
More detailed results, including the 95 percent confidence interval of the income
elasticity coefficients, are presented in Table 3; the results indicate that in all five
estimations all coefficients are of the expected signs and statistically significant at
95 percent.
In general, the income elasticity coefficients for the two finfish species groups are lower
than the three shellfish species groups, which are generally more luxurious goods,
and the income elasticity of demand for freshwater & diadromous fish is the lowest.
While the income elasticity coefficients are mostly between 0.5 and 0.6 for marine fish
and below 0.5 for freshwater & diadromous fish, they are mostly greater than 1 for
crustaceans, shell molluscs and cephalopods.
Intuitively, given per capita fish consumption in the benchmark year (Cbenchmark), the
expected income growth during the projection period (Yfuture/Ybenchmark), and other
factors that affect fish demand (fish price, consumer preference, etc.) remaining the
status quo, per capita fish demand in the future is expected to be Cfuture.
The projection horizon is five years, from the mid-2010s to the early 2020s. Per
capita fish consumption in 2013, the latest data on fish consumption available at the
time of this analysis, is used to represent the benchmark per capita fish consumption
(Cbenchmark) in the mid-2010s. This essentially assumes that the mid-2010 per capita fish
consumption in each country is at the level of its consumption in 2013.17 The average
per capita GDP (PPP adjusted) in 2015 and 2016 is used to represent the benchmark
income (Ybenchmark) in the mid-2010s, whereas the average expected income in 2020 and
2021 is used to represent the future income (Ybenchmark) in the early 2020s. The parameter
β is estimated by the model in equation (1), which is assumed to be constant during the
projection period.
Even though each country’s per capita fish consumption in the mid-2010s is assumed to be at the level
17
in 2013, the per capita consumption of a subregion, region or the entire world in the mid-2010s, which
is a weighted average of per capita consumption in relevant individual countries (with their population
being the respective weights), may be different from that in 2013 because the population of countries is
different in the mid-2010s than in 2013.

Estimating future fish demand 23
Individual countries’ per capita demand for the five basic species groups (i.e. marine
fish, freshwater & diadromous fish, crustaceans, shell molluscs and cephalopods) is
estimated by equation (2). The basic results are then aggregated into per capita fish
demand in regions and the world. The results for the five basic species groups at the
national, regional and global levels are further aggregated into per capita demand for
the four more aggregate species groups (i.e. molluscs, shellfish, finfish and fish).
Expected growth in per capita income from the mid-2010s to the early 2020s
The GDP per capita (PPP adjusted) is used to measure per capita income. The
projection of GDP per capita is calculated from the IMF World Economic Outlook
projections on GDP divided by the United Nations projections on population. Nearly
all countries are expected to have positive income growth during the period from the
mid-2010s to the early 2020s. Countries with relatively high income growth (annual
growth of 5 percent or above) are concentrated in Asia, Eastern Africa, Western Africa
and Eastern Europe (Figure 16).
Expected growth in per capita fish demand from the mid-2010s to the early 2020s
Given no changes in other factors that affect fish demand, such as fish price and
consumer preference, income growth would tend to increase world per capita fish
demand by 5.2 kg, from 19.5 kg18 in the mid-2010s to 24.7 kg in the early 2020s; finfish
and shellfish account for 53 and 47 percent of the growth, respectively (Figure 17).
Per capita fish demand is expected to increase at all regional and subregional levels for
all the five basic species groups (Figure 18). Eastern Asia and South-eastern Asia would
have the greatest demand increases because of their relatively high fish consumption
and fast income growth.
Per capita fish demand is expected to decline in only a few countries (Ecuador,
Equatorial Guinea, Timor-Leste and Venezuela, Bolivarian Republic of) because of
their negative expected income growth (Figure 19).19 In the majority of the countries,
the increase in per capita fish demand is less than 5 kg. In many countries, the
increase is less than 1 kg. Countries with relatively high growth in per capita fish
demand (higher than 5 kg) are concentrated in Eastern, South and South-eastern Asia,
including Bangladesh, Brunei Darussalam, Cambodia, China and China, Hong Kong
SAR, Indonesia, Japan, the Republic of Korea, Malaysia, Maldives, Myanmar, the
Philippines, Sri Lanka, Taiwan Province of China, Thailand and Viet Nam. A number
of small island developing states – including Fiji, Kiribati, Palau, Samoa, Singapore
and Tuvalu in the Pacific; Antigua and Barbuda, Saint Kitts and Nevis, and Barbados
in the Caribbean Sea; and Seychelles in the Indian Ocean – would also have relatively
high growth in per capita fish demand. Other countries with relatively high growth
in per capita demand include Iceland, Latvia, Lithuania, Malta, Norway, Portugal and
Spain in Europe; Ghana, Gabon, Senegal and Sierra Leone in Africa; and Guyana in
South America (Figure 19).
The world average figure here, which is calculated based on countries’ benchmark population (the average
18
of the population in 2015 and 2016), is slightly different from the one presented in previous sections
(19.7 kg), which is calculated based on their population in 2013; see the explanation in footnote 17.
It should be noted that per capita income is measured by per capita GDP adjusted for PPP.

Population growth
World population is expected to increase from 7.3 billion in the mid-2010s to 7.7 billion
in the early 2020s (Figure 20).20 The situation of individual countries is presented in
Figure 21. Most of the world population growth (96 percent) in the near future will
come from developing regions. Asia, Africa, and Latin America and the Caribbean
would account for 50 percent, 38 percent and 8 percent of the growth, respectively. In
Asia, South Asia accounts for more than half of the population growth in the region.
Europe accounts for less than a half percent of the world population growth. Indeed,
the population in Eastern and Southern Europe is expected to decline (Figure 20), as
in Japan and a few Caribbean countries (Figure 21). Northern America accounts for
3 percent of world population growth during the period.

regional and global projections21 for the five basic species groups as well as the four
aggregated groups.
The results indicate that given constant fish prices and consumer preference, income
and population growth is expected to increase world fish demand by 47 million tonnes
in the early 2020s compared with the mid-2010s. Most of the growth is due to come
from Asia, particularly China, which would account for over half of the growth
(Figure 22). South-eastern Asia and South Asia would account for 18 and 10 percent of
the growth, respectively. The share of Africa is 7 percent, whereas that of Latin America
and the Caribbean is 2 percent. The share of Europe, Northern America, and Oceania
are 5 percent, 3 percent and less than 0.5 percent, respectively.
21
For a country with data on its per capita fish consumption in the baseline year but no data on its expected
future per capita GDP, its future per capita fish demand cannot be estimated from equation (2); hence, its
future fish demand would not be estimated. However, since the country is included in the aggregation of
country-level results into regional or global fish demand in the baseline year, it should also be included
in the regional or global aggregation for future fish demand. To facilitate this, the country’s future fish
demand is estimated by multiplying its per capita fish consumption in the baseline year by its expected
population in the future; or if there is no data on the country’s expected future population, its fish
consumption in the baseline year would be used to represent its future fish demand.

In the majority of the countries, fish demand growth during the period from the mid-
2010s to the early 2020s would be less than 100 000 tonnes. In many countries, the growth
would be less than 10 000 tonnes. Countries with fish demand growth during the period
between 1 million and 3 million tonnes include India, Indonesia, Myanmar, Viet Nam,
Bangladesh and the Philippines in Asia and the United States of America. Countries
with growth between 500 000 to 1 million tonnes include the Republic of Korea, Japan
and Malaysia in Asia and Nigeria and Egypt in Africa (Figure 24).
34
FIGURE 24
Fish demand growth at the country level from the mid-2010s to the early 2020s
The analysis in the previous section shows that if fish prices and consumer preference
remain the same, the larger and wealthier world populations would demand 47 million
tonnes more fish in the early 2020s compared with the mid-2010s. The analysis in this
section will examine whether the trend aquaculture growth (i.e. aquaculture production
in each country growing according to its recent trend) can generate enough fish supply
to satisfy the demand growth. Potential fish demand-supply gaps as well as aquaculture
growth needed to cover the gaps are measured for five basic species groups and the four
aggregate species groups at the national, regional and global levels.
World capture fisheries production has been flat since the 1990s and is expected to
remain that way because of resources and regulations constraints. Thus, the impact of
capture fisheries on fish supply is not considered in the analysis here, which essentially
assumes that capture fisheries production in the early 2020s would be at the same level
as the mid-2010s.
A country’s aquaculture production from 2015 to 2021 is projected by its recent five-
year (i.e. 2009–201422) linear trend. The average production projection in 2015 and 2016
is used to represent the benchmark aquaculture production for the mid-2010s, whereas
the projection in 2020 and 2021 represents the expected future production for the early
2020s.
For some cases of a downward trend leading to an unreasonably low or even a negative
production projection, the average production during 2012–2014 or during 1980–2014,
whichever is smaller, is used as the lower bound of the production projection.
The projection of aquaculture production is first conducted for the five basic species
groups at the country level; the results are then aggregated into regional and global
results and/or for the four aggregate species groups.
The results indicate that if aquaculture production23 in every country follows its recent
trend, world aquaculture production would increase by 19 million tonnes in the early
2020s compared with the mid-2010s; three-quarters of the growth would be in finfish
species and one-quarter in shellfish species (Figure 25). Freshwater & diadromous fish
At the time of this analysis, 2014 is the latest year for FAO data on global aquaculture production; see
22
would account for 72 percent of the growth; the share of marine fish would be only
3 percent. The share of crustaceans and shell molluscs would be 10 and 15 percent,
respectively, and the share of cephalopods would be zero because at the time of this
analysis there is no substantial cephalopod aquaculture (Figure 25).
China, which accounts for 61 percent of world aquaculture production in the mid-
2010s, would account for 56 percent of the 19-million-tonne growth. South-eastern and
South Asia also have a significant contribution (19 and 12 percent, respectively). The
share of the Americas, Africa and Europe is 5, 4 and 3 percent, respectively (Figure 26).

Besides China, other countries that have a relatively large trend growth in aquaculture
production (more than 100 000 tonnes) include Bangladesh, India, Indonesia, Iran,
Myanmar and Viet Nam in Asia; Brazil, Chile and Ecuador in the Americas; Egypt
and Nigeria in Africa; and Norway in Europe. The trend growth in most of the other
countries is less than 10 000 tonnes. In some countries, the trend growth is negative,
such as Canada, Greece, Malaysia, the Republic of Korea and Thailand (Figure 27).
Alternatively, a demand-supply gap can also be measured by the ratio between the
supply growth and the demand growth. A ratio greater than one indicates excess supply,
and a ratio smaller than one indicates excess demand and measures the percentage of
the demand growth that can be covered by the supply growth.
China would account for nearly half of the 28-million-tonne demand-supply gap.
South-eastern Asia, South Asia and Africa would also have significant gaps (Figure 29).
South America and Northern Europe are the only two subregions that have negative
gaps, indicating excess fish supply (Table A in the appendix).
The trend aquaculture growth in 170 countries would not be able to generate enough
fish to satisfy their fish demand growth (i.e. positive demand-supply gap); surplus (i.e.
a negative demand-supply gap) is expected to occur in only 17 countries (Figure 30).
The trend aquaculture growth in nearly 120 countries would cover less than 5 percent
of their expected fish demand growth (Table A in the appendix).
In the majority of the countries, the fish demand-supply gap would be less than 100 000
tonnes. In many countries, the gap would be less than 10 000 tonnes. Countries with
relatively large fish demand-supply gaps (greater than 500 000 tonnes) in the early 2020s
include, in descending order of their demand-supply gaps, China, India, Myanmar, the
United States of America, the Philippines, Viet Nam, the Republic of Korea, Japan,
Bangladesh and Malaysia (Figure 30).

World aquaculture production is set to grow 4.5 percent annually from the mid-2010s
to the early 2020s if aquaculture in every country follows its recent trend. This trend
growth rate would not generate enough fish to satisfy the demand growth driven by
income and population growth. Indeed, world aquaculture production would need
to grow 9.9 percent per year during the period in order to generate enough fish to
satisfy the expected demand growth. While the trend aquaculture growth would exceed
10 percent per year in less than 20 countries, aquaculture growth in over 130 countries
needs to exceed 10 percent in order to generate enough fish to satisfy the demand
growth (Table A in the appendix).
40
FIGURE 30
Fish demand-supply gaps in the early 2020s
The trend growth in marine finfish aquaculture in 181 countries (including those with
no marine finfish aquaculture at the time of this analysis) would be unable to generate
enough marine fish to satisfy their demand growth; surplus is expected to occur in only
four countries (i.e. Cyprus, Malta, Taiwan Province of China and Timor-Leste24) (Table
A). Countries with a relatively large marine fish demand-supply gap (greater than
100 000 tonnes) include, in descending order within the respective regions, Indonesia,
China, Myanmar, the Philippines, India, Malaysia, Viet Nam, the Republic of Korea,
Japan, Thailand and Sri Lanka in Asia; Nigeria, Egypt, Ghana, Côte d’Ivoire, Senegal
and Morocco in Africa; the United States of America and Mexico in the Americas; and
the Russian Federation, Spain, France and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and
Northern Ireland in Europe (Figure 31).
The trend growth in marine finfish aquaculture in only 23 countries would cover more
than 1 percent of their expected marine fish demand growth. World marine finfish
aquaculture production would need to grow over 40 percent annually from the mid-
2010s to the early 2020s in order to satisfy the demand growth. The needed growth rate
is much higher than the trend growth rate (less than 4 percent) (Table A in the appendix).
The trend growth in freshwater & diadromous finfish aquaculture in 150 countries
would not be sufficient to satisfy their demand growth; surplus is expected to occur
in 34 countries (Figure 32). Countries with relatively large freshwater & diadromous
fish demand-supply gaps (greater than 100 000 tonnes) include, in descending order
within the respective regions, China, India, Myanmar, Bangladesh, the Philippines and
Thailand in Asia; the United States of America in the Americas; and Uganda in Africa.
The trend growth in freshwater & diadromous finfish aquaculture in only 67 countries
would cover more than 25 percent of their expected freshwater & diadromous fish
demand growth (49 countries more than 50 percent). The world trend growth in
freshwater & diadromous finfish aquaculture production is 4.9 percent per year from
the mid-2010s to the early 2020s, slightly lower than the 5.5 percent growth needed to
satisfy the expected demand growth. Unlike marine fish for which the demand-supply
gap is positive for all subregions, the freshwater & diadromous fish demand-supply gap
is negative (indicating excess supply) in Northern Africa, Central Asia, South-eastern
Asia, Northern Europe, Central America and South America (Table A in the appendix).
24
The trend growth in marine finfish aquaculture in Timor-Leste from the mid-2010s to the early 2020s
is expected to be zero (Table A), but the expected growth in the country’s demand for marine fish is
negative because of its negative expected growth in per capita GDP (PPP adjusted) (Figure 19).
42
FIGURE 31
Marine fish demand-supply gaps in the early 2020s
The trend growth in crustacean aquaculture production in 171 countries would not be
sufficient to satisfy their demand growth; a surplus is expected to occur in 11 countries.
China alone accounts for nearly two-thirds of the world crustacean demand-supply
gap. Other countries with relatively large crustacean demand-supply gaps (more than
10 000 tonnes) include, in descending order within the respective regions, Viet Nam,
Indonesia, Japan, Bangladesh, Malaysia, India, the Philippines, the Republic of Korea,
Thailand, Taiwan Province of China, China, Hong Kong SAR, and Singapore in Asia;
the United States of America, Mexico, Canada, Brazil and Chile in the Americas; and
the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, France, Spain, Italy,
Sweden, the Russian Federation, Norway and Germany in Europe; and Australia in
Oceania (Figure 33).
The trend growth in shell molluscs aquaculture production in 157 countries would not be
sufficient to satisfy their demand growth; surplus is expected to occur in eight countries.
China alone accounts for nearly 90 percent of the world shell molluscs demand-supply
gap. Other countries with relatively large shell molluscs demand-supply gaps (more than
10 000 tonnes) include, in descending order within the respective region, the Republic
of Korea, Japan, Viet Nam, the Philippines, Thailand, Taiwan Province of China, China,
Hong Kong SAR, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore and India in Asia; the United States of
America, Canada and Mexico in the Americas; France, Spain, Italy, the United Kingdom
of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, Ukraine and the Russian Federation in Europe;
and Australia in Oceania. The demand-supply gap is less than 10 000 tonnes for the
majority of the countries and negative in a few countries (Figure 34).
The trend growth in shell molluscs aquaculture production in only 24 countries would
cover more than 5 percent of their expected shell molluscs demand growth. The world
shell molluscs aquaculture production would need to grow 10.9 percent annually from
the mid-2010s to the early 2020s in order to satisfy the demand growth. The needed
growth rate is much higher than the 3.1 percent trend growth. South America is the
only subregion whose trend growth in shell molluscs aquaculture production would
be enough to cover the demand growth (Table A in the appendix).

Cephalopod accounted for a tiny share (less than 3 percent) of world fish consumption
in the mid-2010s (Figure 8). The consumption of cephalopods in many countries is
either very low or virtually non-existent. Thus, the cephalopod demand-supply gap in
the early 2020s would be greater than 10 000 tonnes in only 18 countries. China alone
would account for over 40 percent of the 1.8-million-tonne world demand-supply gap
in cephalopods. Other countries with relatively large cephalopod demand-supply gaps
include, in the descending order within the respective regions, Viet Nam, the Republic
of Korea, Japan, Thailand, the Philippines, Indonesia, Malaysia and Taiwan Province
of China in Asia; the United States of America, Argentina, Mexico and Peru in the
Americas; Spain, Italy, the Russian Federation and Greece in Europe; and Australia in
Oceania (Figure 35).
Fish as a whole
The lower-fertility-variant projection of the world population in the early 2020s would
be 1 percent lower than the medium-fertility-variant projection. The conservative
estimation of world per capita fish demand under the lower bound income elasticity
would be 8 percent less than the standard one (22.8 kg/year and 24.7 kg/year,
respectively). Thus, the conservative projection of world fish demand would be nearly
10 percent and 17 million tonnes lower than the standard one (Table 4).
The conservative projection of China’s fish demand-supply gap in the early 2020s
would be 5 million tonnes. This would still be the world’s largest, yet much smaller
than the gap under the standard projection (14 million tonnes). Indonesia’s trend
aquaculture growth would be nearly 180 000 tonnes less than the demand growth
under the standard projection, yet over 800 000 tonnes more than that under the
conservative one. Brazil, Bangladesh and Egypt are also among the seven countries that
would have a positive demand-supply gap under the standard projection and negative
gap under the conservative one (Table A in the appendix).

Marine fish
The conservative projection of world marine fish demand in the early 2020s would
be 60 million tonnes, which is 4 million tonnes less than the standard projection. The
demand growth under the conservative projection would still be greater than the trend
growth in world marine fish aquaculture production, leaving a 6.7-million-tonne
demand-supply gap, which would need 31 percent annual growth of world marine
aquaculture production to fill (Table 4). Turkey is the only country that would have
excess demand under the standard projection, yet excess supply under the conservative
one (Table A in the appendix).

5. Discussion
• Given that fish prices and consumer preference remain the same, income growth
would drive world per capita fish demand up from 20 kg/year in the mid-2010s
to 25 kg/year in the early 2020s (or 23 kg/year under the conservative projection).
• The income-driven per capita fish demand hike, combined with population
growth, would drive world fish demand up by 47 million tonnes (or 31 million
tonnes under the conservative projection).
• The 19-million-tonne fish supply growth generated by the trend growth of world
aquaculture production would cover only 40 percent of the projected demand
growth (or 60 percent of the conservative projection), leaving a fish demand-
supply gap of 28 million tonnes (or 16 million tonnes under the conservative
projection) in the early 2020s.
• The demand-supply gap for shellfish would be larger than that for finfish – they
would account for 55 and 45 percent, respectively, of the 28-million-tonne fish
demand-supply gap.
• While world aquaculture production following its recent trend would grow
4.5 percent annually from the mid-2010s to the early 2020s, it would take
9.9 percent annual growth (or 6.9 percent under the conservative projection) to
fill the world fish demand-supply gap in the early 2020s.
• The trend aquaculture growth in only 17 countries (or 24 countries under
the conservative projection) would be sufficient to cover the demand growth
driven by population and income growth; excess demand is expected to occur in
170 countries (or 163 countries under the conservative projection).
• Should world aquaculture fall short of the required annual growth rate (i.e.
9.9 percent under the standard projection or 6.9 percent under the conservative
one), and should world capture fisheries production remain the status quo, the
world fish price would tend to increase to reduce fish demand to the extent that
world fish demand and supply are balanced (i.e. no demand-supply gap).
Detailed results of the demand-supply gap analysis at the country, regional and global
levels for the nine species are presented in the appendix (Table A).
The results of the demand-supply gap analysis are useful to decision-makers in both
the public and private sectors. Knowledge and understanding of potential future fish
demand as well as demand-supply gaps could facilitate the establishment of evidence-
based regulations, policies and development strategies and plans, help development
agencies or donors set targets and allocate resources, assist fish farmers in business
planning, and guide investors in investment planning. But clear understanding of the
results, including their merits and constraints, is essential to properly and flexibly using
them to facilitate evidence-based decision-making.
certain conditions. The study does not predict that world per capita fish consumption
will most likely reach 25 kg/year in the early 2020s. Rather, it means that “given that
fish prices and consumer preferences remain the same”, income growth could drive
world per capita fish demand up to that level.
Since it appears that the trend aquaculture growth could cover only 40 percent of the
projected world fish demand growth while capture fisheries production is expected
to have little growth, the resulting excess demand would tend to drive up fish prices,
which would reduce the demand growth. Therefore, per capita fish consumption
(as realized fish demand) in the early 2020s would likely be less than 25 kg/year if
global aquaculture follows its recent trend. However, the 25 kg/year per capita fish
consumption could be sustained if productivity gains, increases in the utilization of
aquaculture resources, policy interventions and other factors can accelerate world
aquaculture growth from the 4.5 percent trend growth to 9.9 percent a year.
The short-term projection model in this study does not try to balance fish demand and
supply. It treats fish price as an exogenous variable to estimate fish demand growth
driven by population and income growth and compares the demand growth to trend
aquaculture growth to assess potential demand-supply gaps.
The analysis here also examines fish demand and supply separately, yet moves a step
further to project future fish demand and supply separately under certain conditions
(i.e. fish price and consumer preference remaining unchanged for the demand-side
analysis and trend aquaculture growth for the supply-side analysis). This approach
not only allows more detailed assessment and monitoring of future fish demand – this
point would be discussed later – but also could help enhance understanding of the
results of more complex models.
It should be noted that the results of the demand analysis in this study may not be
directly comparable to the results of demand analysis in other models because of the
differences in model set-up or parameters used.
While demand analysis based on household data uses various consumption models to
estimate demand elasticity parameters,25 a few studies (e.g. Ye, 1999) use country-level
data to estimate fish demand elasticities through single-equation linear regressions
of per capita fish consumption on income and price variables. As such regressions
usually entail substantial time-series data in order to discern statistically significant
patterns, countries with insufficient data have to be aggregated into country groups for
estimation. Aggregating countries into groups, albeit a common practice in forecasting
future fish demand, tends to result in a vast amount of information loss and hence
should always be considered as the last resort.
Even for a country with enough data, single-equation regressions do not always give
sensible results because of poor data quality or because the country’s own historical
consumption pattern does not provide adequate information for extrapolating its
future fish demand. Ad hoc adjustments on model specification (e.g. adding a trend
variable) are sometimes used to avoid insensible projections (Ye, 1999), but doing so
would undermine the uniformity of the estimation model.
Similar to Ye (1999), the study here estimates countries’ income elasticities based on
their historical consumption, income and price trends. However, instead of using single-
equation regressions to estimate individual countries’ income elasticity separately, a
panel model is used in the study here to pool all countries’ historical trends together
to conduct a single estimation for each of the five basic species groups. Extrapolations
under this model would thus be based not only on comparing individual countries’
own fish consumption and income patterns over time, but also on comparing the
patterns across countries. As such, even countries with just a few data points can be
included in the analysis as a distinctive country rather than being an unidentifiable
part of a country group. Another merit of the panel model is to improve the reliability
of extrapolation by pooling individual countries’ data together and hence providing a
wide income range from countries at different income levels (Hsiao, 2007).
Common methods used in fish demand analysis include single equation (reduced-form) demand function
25
estimation, the Rotterdam System, the Almost Ideal Demand System, the multistage budgeting framework,
among others (Asche, Bjørndal and Gordon, 2007; Dey et al., 2008; Seale, Regmi and Bernstein, 2003).
54 Short-term projection of global fish demand and supply gaps
The panel model helps self-generate income elasticities of demand for the five
disaggregate species groups based on up to nearly 190 countries’ recent trends of
fish consumption, fish prices and incomes (Table 2). While there is still room for
improvement in model specification and other aspects, the panel model approach
represents a potentially better way to obtain demand elasticities than borrowing from
the literature, both in terms of availability and quality.
It is important to note that the income elasticity coefficients estimated in this study
(Table 3) are specific for short-term projections from the mid-2010s to the early 2020s.
It may not be appropriate to borrow them for other projections, especially not for
longer-term projections.
While many regional and global results are presented in previous sections, the ultimate
goal of this study is to facilitate evidence-based decision-making at the country level.
Data availability allows 187 countries or territories to be included in the projection
model. All of them enter the model as a distinct country or territory; the regional
and global results are aggregated from country results. The key results of all the 187
countries are presented in the appendix (Table A).
Similarly, the model analyses the five basic species groups, which are the most
disaggregate consumption data available at the time of the analysis. The basic results
are then aggregated into more aggregated species groups.
Areas to improve
Data used in the projection model include FAO data on fish consumption, aquaculture
production and fish trade, IMF data on per capita GDP, and United Nations data on
population. Improvement of the timeliness and quality of these official statistics would
increase the accuracy of the projection.
While data on population and per capita GDP are available for the baseline period
(the 2015 and 2016 average), fish consumption in 2013 (the latest year with global fish
consumption data available at the time of this analysis) has to be used to represent
the baseline per capita fish consumption. Improvement in the timeliness of fish
consumption data would help solve this inconsistency.
There is an ongoing effort to separate freshwater fish and diadromous fish into two
separate species groups in FAO’s fish consumption data. This would help increase
the accuracy of the fish demand-supply gap analysis and provide more detailed
information.
Fish price, which is a key variable in the demand analysis, is constructed from the
prices of farmed fish and imported fish, with that of captured fish not accounted for
because of the lack of data. The price proxies constructed as such are helpful to improve
the accuracy of estimated income elasticity coefficients. However, even though the
estimated price elasticity coefficients are of the expected sign and statistically significant
at 95 percent for all the five basic species groups, they cannot be used to estimate the
Discussion 55
impact of a change in fish price on fish demand because of the unsure quality of the
price proxies. As discussed in section 3.1, the quality problem also affects the model
specification. Data on the price of capture fisheries production would help improve
the construct of the price variable. Price indices at the country level would also help.
The panel model uses a parsimonious specification. The prices of substitute goods are
not included, partly because of limited data availability and quality. With improvement
of data availability and quality, the model specification could be improved.
For example, China’s 14 million tonnes of excess demand in the early 2020s may
appear overestimated to some observers who have experience of market gluts and
harsh competition in China’s low-value, freshwater finfish industry (e.g. tilapia).
However, a deeper look would reveal that over 80 percent of the 14 million tonnes of
excess demand is in shellfish, whereas freshwater & diadromous fish accounts for only
10 percent. Indeed, under the conservative projection, China would have 2.3 million
tonnes of excess supply in freshwater & diadromous fish.
Users may modify the demand projection in equation (2) with more accurate data or
parameters or introduce new driving factors (e.g. changes in consumer preference).
They may modify the supply projection by specifying a different trend horizon,
considering nonlinear trends, or factoring into policy and other factors (e.g. aquaculture
production growth in Chile and Norway tends to be limited by stringent regulations).
A user-friendly tool can be developed to facilitate such flexibility.
The world fish demand-supply gap can be used to measure the potential for aquaculture
growth at the global level since aquaculture is expected to be the main, if not the only,
source of fish supply growth. Yet, besides domestic aquaculture, fish supply in a
country can come from imports. Also, capture fisheries could be a substantial source
of fish supply growth in a specific country although it is not expected so at the global
level. Similarly, the domestic market may not be the only source of demand for a
country’s aquaculture production, not even as a main source for countries with an
export-oriented aquaculture sector.
Therefore, it should be noted that the demand-supply gap analysis here is only a
standardized assessment that may not be suitable for all cases. A positive fish demand-
supply gap should not be viewed, a priori, as a problem to solve but could imply an
opportunity to exploit. For example, a large demand-supply gap in a country with
little comparative advantage in fish production may not be an issue to be solved by
domestic policy, but could represent a potential market opportunity for producers in
other countries. Users may use the information in the tables in the appendix to conduct
tailor-made assessments according to individual specific conditions and needs.
